Sponsor Spotlight - Keep In Touch Card Shop

Keep In Touch Card Shop is a super sweet and super cute company, started by Kelly McMaster. The kits that she provided the CPS designers to work with will give you just a glimpse at what Kelly has to offer. She created the kits specifically for each of us, based upon our taste and style, filled with new product, plus vintage flea market, and Etsy finds. Amazing! How SWEET is that!? The best news? This is just what she'll do for YOU TOO!!

Keep In Touch Card Shop offer scrap page kits, altered item kits, card kits, embellishment packs and some kits have a bit of everything in them. A lot of the product can be seen on the website, but the special thing about Keep In Touch is that each purchase is typically "one of a kind", with unique ribbon and embellishments that you can't find anywhere else! Soon there will also be a new tab for special order/custom order kits as well. So if you would like a kit designed in certain colors, a certain manufacturer, or a special theme, Kelly will put it together for you! There will be 4 different price points and she'll also work within a specified budget too. She will send the kit to the purchaser or send it as a gift on their behalf if they'd like. (Isn't that an amazing gift idea!?)

Each month Keep In Touch has 2 guest designers, and their work is always fantastic and featured on the blog. They also have an "open door" policy when it comes to sharing work--email anything you make with their kit and they'll be happy to show you off! There are frequent contests on the blog for fun prize packs and winning is always easy!

Kelly is even offering up a wonderful prize here, for YOU! Be sure to link up your card for a chance to win the Buttons n Milkcaps Limited Edition Kit!

Please go visit Keep In Touch Card Shop and check out their blog too!
I just know you'll love it as much as we do!
Thank you Kelly!
